Key responsibilities include:

  • Design and development of electronic circuits and PCB schematics for complex systems
  • Ownership of hardware design activities from requirements through to validation
  • Use of industry-standard CAD tools for schematic capture and PCB design
  • Supporting system integration and hardware bring‑up activities
  • Ensuring compliance with relevant industry and regulatory standards
  • Contributing to design reviews and technical decision‑making
  • Leading work packages and mentoring engineers (Senior / Principal level)

Key Skills & Experience

We’re looking for engineers with strong hardware design fundamentals and experience in schematic capture:

  • Proven experience in schematic design for PCB‑based electronic systems
  • Strong background in component‑level design (analogue and/or digital circuits)
  • Experience using CAD tools such as Siemens Expedition (Mentor Graphics) or similar (e.g. Altium, Cadence, OrCAD)
  • Understanding of full hardware development lifecycle
  • Experience with signal integrity, EMC, and power design considerations
  • Familiarity with testing, debugging, and validation of hardware designs
  • Ability to translate requirements into detailed electronic designs

Desirable (but not essential)

  • Experience in safety‑critical or regulated industries
  • Exposure to FPGA, microprocessors, or embedded systems
  • Knowledge of high‑speed design or mixed‑signal systems

About You

You will be a proactive and technically strong engineer who enjoys working in a collaborative environment:

  • Degree‑qualified (or equivalent) in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or similar
  • Strong problem‑solving skills and ability to work on complex design challenges
  • Capable of working independently and within multidisciplinary teams
  • Effective communicator with the ability to influence technical decisions
  • Demonstrates initiative, professionalism, and commitment to delivery

Principal‑level candidates will also bring

  • Experience leading projects or technical workstreams
  • Mentoring or coaching junior engineers
  • Strong ownership of design decisions and delivery outcomes

What’s on Offer

  • Work on complex, high‑reliability electronic systems
  • A varied project environment with cutting‑edge technologies
  • Clear career progression into technical leadership roles
  • Support for professional development and Chartership (CEng)
  • Competitive salary and benefits package
